The facility did not have a record demonstrating the type and number of animals on hand used within the zoo area of the facility. Additionally, there were no records of animal acquisition, disposition, births, or deaths for the zoo area animals. An accurate animal inventory is required so that USDA inspectors can ensure all animals are accounted for and receiving adequate veterinary care. Records of animal acquisition and disposition, including births and deaths, must be kept by the facility to ensure animals can be traced in case of an animal disease outbreak and to ensure there are not high mortality rates in the animals. An accurate inventory and records of animal acquisition and disposition, including births and death, must be maintained by the facility. To be corrected by September 22, 2023
